I'm trying to start lxc containers with their own public ip address on the network. This is what I've tried so far:
On the host
The host machine has an IP address of 192.168.255.254. I added a bridge, br0, in the same subnet:
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.255.254
netmask 255.255.0.0
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
address 192.168.255.1
netmask 255.255.0.0
I've also enabled ip forwarding (net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 in /etc/sysctl.d/20-lxc.conf as per this guide)
In /var/lib/lxc/$NAME/config:
lxc.network.type=veth
lxc.network.link=br0
lxc.network.name=eth1
On the container
In /etc/network/interfaces:
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
address 192.168.255.99
netmask 255.255.0.0
When I try to start the container, it can't get an IP address:
cloud-init-container: emitted ifup for eth1

cloud-init-nonet waiting 120 seconds for a network device.
cloud-init-nonet gave up waiting for a network device.

ci-info: eth1 : 1 . . 00:16:3e:cf:20:b5
route_info failed
This is the output of route:
default 10.0.2.2 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
default 10.0.2.2 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 eth0

192.168.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 br0
What am I doing wrong?
